Zero No. 1 is a rustic thriller that I enjoyed reading. The novel begins in a trance like manner with a metaphorical opening, starts off slow by alluding to the mysterious gaps in the protagonist's past and accelerates at breakneck speed into the chaotic events preceding the ending.

Intentional on the author's part or not, I really dug the 'commercial elements' in the novel akin to watching Indian masala cinema. Also, I could relate to the protagonist's relationship with the people around him and why he is the way he is.

An exciting novel debut. Wishing more success for Gouse garu :)
